Garst and
BASF officials announce an
exciting new promotion designed for corn growers who are looking
to combine proven Garst IT corn hybrids with the affordable and
effective weed control offered with Lightning™ herbicide.
"We are very excited to offer Garst customers this type of
cost-saving program," explains Gene Kassmeyer, crop product
manager for Garst Seed Company. "With this program, corn growers
can select the Garst IT corn hybrids that are right for their
acres and get the cost-effective weed control that Lightning
herbicide is known for."
Now growers can purchase both their Garst IT corn hybrids and
Lightning herbicide with 0% interest when they finance their
seed on the Garst Gold Plan and herbicide through Farm Plan.
Growers can take advantage of the Garst Gold Plan and 0%
interest by contacting their local Garst Guy or calling
1-888-Go-Garst.
Growers will then select two ways to save money on their
Lightning herbicide purchase. Option one is to receive a $2 per
acre discount on their Lightning herbicide purchase if made by
January 10, 2003. Option two is to finance their Lightning
herbicide purchase through Farm Plan and receive 0% interest
financing when paid off by October 1, 2003. Growers must
purchase on this option by January 4, 2003 to be eligible for
full program benefits. Contact your local BASF supplier for
complete program details.
"Either way you look at it, we believe this is a great
program for corn growers," notes Kassmeyer. "Get zero percent
financing on their Garst IT corn hybrids and select one of two
ways to save money with Lightning herbicide. They’ll also get
top-performing hybrids along with simple, economical weed
control with no additional fees and grain with no special
domestic-use channeling requirements."
